Names can be changed by editing the corresponding route from the "Edit" menu for this segment. To edit the route name, select the Edit entire route option in the segment dropdown. When you edit the route name, multiple segments may be affected, even if the segments are not visible.

If I'm not mistaken, Google has only one name/ref field for relations, and you're supposed to put e.g. "Florida 50" in there. Perhaps people are trying to get fancy here and create state-by-state relations for U.S. Routes without support for such.

As far as I know, Google MapMaker doesn't provide a means to change which road segments are or are not part of a "relation", except for adding brand-new roads to it ("extend such-and-such road" when drawing a new segment). It seems this must be done by someone with more advanced tools. Then again, I haven't messed with it much since before they "improved" the MapMaker interface.

If Google doesn't straighten out stuff like this (especially things like all of US 1 being City Ave) really fast, then what do they expect people to think of their product? As it is, it looks like Google Maps is very, very unreliable if anyone can go and vandalize it basically.

It is properly named as such in part of Philadelphia; someone must have named the entire route accidentally, not just the piece he was working on.

Yep, that is probably where it is from (with honkers behind Dave Roberts's weather forecast and all), but Google has to make it so that these things don't perpetuate instantly to the whole route.

Amazingly, this afternoon as part of some family tree research I am helping my family with, I was looking for some things in Rockland, Maine and was mapping on Google--what do you know......US 1A in Rockland, Maine has even been hit as W City Ave--even both streets of a pair of one-ways! At some zoom levels, that name is shown and not the correct street name! Bravo, Google! Sigh.

Uh-oh. I see a theme happening. We had better not see "U.S. Route [number] in [state]" on every US route.

Many/most US highways in Indiana are now US route xx in [state]. US 20, US 24, and US 30 are three that I checked.

A couple of interesting things. If you look at US 20 around South Bend, eastbound is in Nebraska and westbound is in Illinois. It seems like Nebraska and Illinois are important states in this new system of naming highways for Google. Another interesting thing is that the road/highway name appears over and over - much more so that real road names.

In small road geek news, Google removed the shields for US 84 for about a month. Contacted em, and they said conflicting interests prevented them from readding the shields. checked back, and they added the shields. US 165 between Monroe and Sterlington (both in LA) is a broken route.
